I set up my Samsung R10 camera on my deck overlooking the Mississippi River yesterday. The view is looking upriver towards St. Louis. It was recording in time lapse mode from about 9:40 am until almost 5 pm. The camera took one frame every 3 seconds. So here is about 7 hours of river traffic in about 5 minutes. There was quite a bit of barge traffic and a few small boats. In the lower right hand corner you can sometimes see a dredge, which moves sand and sediment from the bottom of shallow areas to create a deeper channel for the barges. They stop near my house from time to time and sometimes spend all day in the same place.
You can also see some interesting cloud formations. It was just a beautiful day here. A nice breeze with a high in the low 80’s. It wasn’t nearly as breezy as it might appear in the video.
Aren’t you a talented little so and so…
Very well done!
Wow what a view.
saw the Mississippi one time and I loved it
Kewl!! Gorgeous view, good tunes, I almost felt like I was sitting there watching it. Very nice.
If you can try to get the “up-close” plant life out of the camera shot, it might turn out a bit better. It’s distracting an otherwise great view of the river and it’s traffic. Looks like someone’s down there shaking the bush.
Could you say who the music is?
Hey Jonco, I think it’d be cool to credit the music in your tags/posts of your films. I know the CCR (of course!) but that first acoustic diddy was sweet, but don’t know who it is. Plus, the original artist might appreciate it 😉
This is my favorite time-lapse vid you’ve done so far. Nice!
The first was a tune called River Road by Nancy Wilson from the Elizabethtown soundtrack and the second was Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival. I didn’t credit them because I know YouTube sometimes mutes the music on videos for fear of copyright violations. I was trying to slip this by their censors.
I would love to have that view. I would have a couple beers and a cigar every evening.
You are welcome, I did the deal that added 700 new barges to MEMCO’s fleet, now part of AEP.
Is that a “wing damn” just up river? Where the current flows out and around
Yeah, it is a wing dam.
Fantastic work again! It’s always such a joy when you share your latest “time-lapse” videos. I still want one of those cameras! Thanks for sharing!
